Alison Bechdel

"It is a pioneering work, pushing two genres (comics and memoir) in multiple new directions, with panels that combine the detail and technical proficiency of R. Crumb with a seriousness, emotional complexity and innovation completely its own... A comic book for lovers of words! Bechdel's rich language and precise images combine to create a lush piece of work - a memoir where concision and detail are melded for maximum, obsessive density " New York Times "Bechdel's memoir offers a graphic narrative of uncommon richness, depth, literary resonance and psychological complexity ... shares [much] in spirit with the work of Mary Karr, Tobias Wolff, and other contemporary memoirists of considerable literary accomplishement " Kirkus Reviews "The recursively told story, which revisits the sites of tragic desperation again and again, hits notes that resemble Jeanette Winterson at her best... She's made a story that's quiet, dignified and not easy to put down " Publishers Weekly "One of the very best graphic novels ever" Booklist "A brilliant, bleakly hilarious memoir in comic-book form" Time
